£17.45Suggested Retail Price:£18.00

An authoritative and captivating album of rare pre-grouping GWR photographs, specifically from the period between 1899 and 1922.

This book explores, through well over a hundred good quality photographs, the era of transition from the classic Great Western Railway 2-2-2 and 4-2-2 locomotives to the larger and more powerful 4-4-0s and 4-6-0s.

Also illustrated are the GWR 4-4-2 and 4-6-2 designs which did not progress into large scale production.

Apart from the Great Western locomotives the photographs also depict clerestory coaches, milk vans, station buildings, signals (including reversing signals) and a variety of types of gas lamp, making it especially helpful to modellers.

The combination of rare good quality pre-grouping photographs and accurate, authoritive text, will appeal to historians, modellers and almost everyone else with an interest in railways, particularly the GWR.
